THE 37 TH VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL WINE FESTIVAL
FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 1, 2015
1,750+ wines * 170 wineries * 14 countries * 53 events * 8 days * 25,000 attendees
Welcome to the 2015 Vancouver
International Wine Festival, Canada’s
premier wine show. This annual
celebration of the grape has become
a February highlight in Vancouver,
with a full slate of wine tastings and
parties, lunches, brunches and
dinners, seminars, and a three-day
conference for trade professionals.
The heart of VanWineFest, however,
is the International Festival Tastings,
where all 170 wineries gather
together in one room to showcase
their wines. What sets this festival
apart from other wine events is the
number of top winery personalities
from around the world who travel to
Vancouver to participate in the
week’s 53 events. You can identify these visiting vine stars
(owners, winemakers, senior executives) in the Acura Tasting
Room or at special events by the royal blue lanyard holding their
nametag. Also look for their names in the Wineries & Wines
section of this program. Don’t hesitate to ask them anything you
want to know about their wines. The Wine World is Here to share
their knowledge and the fruits of their labours with you.
The Acura Tasting Room is organized alphabetically within each
country of origin, from Argentina to the United States, with a
special international section for Sake. The highlight of the room is
sure to be the Savour Australia Theme Country section, where you
will find all 55 of Australia’s participating wineries organized by
region, as well as interactive tasting stations themed around Cool
Climate, Mod Oz, the Chardonnay Revolution, the Epicurean Way
and Wine Science with the Australian Wine Research Institute.
Flip the book over for an informative guide to the history, evolution
and revolution of Australian wine over the past two centuries.

WELCOME FROM THE BOARD
On behalf of the Vancouver International Wine Festival’s Board of Directors, I am pleased to welcome you
to the 37th annual festival, featuring Savour Australia as our theme, and a global focus on Syrah (aka
Shiraz). It would not be possible to produce a festival of this size and quality without the contributions of a great
many individuals and organizations, whose efforts ensure the success of this annual fundraising event for
our charitable beneficiary, Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival. The Board of Directors would like to thank the participating
wineries, their principals and agents; the participating country consulates; our sponsors and partner restaurants, hotels and
venues; our dedicated staff and hundreds of volunteers; our key stakeholders in the community, including the BCLDB and IVSA;
and you, members of the public and trade, who make the Vancouver International Wine Festival the best wine and food festival
in North America.

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I’m pleased to welcome you to Vancouver’s annual weeklong cultural celebration of wine and food. Now in
its 37th edition, the 2015 festival is showcasing 170 wineries from 14 countries, including 55 wineries from
our theme country, Australia.
The Acura Tasting Room is where we bring the world of wine to you. In order to enjoy the full global
experience, be sure to visit at least one winery from a few different Australian wine regions and each of the
13 other countries, as well as the various wine tasting stations. All the wineries are pouring exciting wines, so look for a less
busy table for the best opportunity to connect with the winery representatives at the table, all of whom are winemakers, owners
or senior executives, with unique insights into their product and the stories behind them. You can purchase your favourite wines
at the onsite BC Liquor Stores Festival Wine Shop, or BUY A CASE right at the table and have it delivered to your preferred BC
Liquor Store.
Enjoy an engaging and safe festival. We look forward to welcoming you back next year and many more years to come.
Cheers!
Harry Hertscheg
Executive Director
Vancouver International Wine Festival

Shiraz throughout the Acura Tasting room, both on its own and as
part of a blend.

Comox Camembert is made with milk from select Vancouver
Island farms. The mild seaside climatic conditions and
“terroir” from the farms’ locations contribute to the rare,
ambrosial taste. This soft cheese with its velvety rind has notes
of butter and mushroom.
Made at the Davison’s farm with milk from the family ’s herd of
Jersey cows. With its mild yet satisfying full flavvour, this semisoft Havarti is aged between 9 months to 1½ years. Golden
Ears Cheesecrafters Aged Havarti has a creamy, buttery
texture and a sweet lactic taste.
Bothwell’s aged white cheddar is combined with the very
best Canadian full-bodied red wine to craft this beautiful
cheese. The veins of rich red wine running throughout make
it the main attraction on any cheese plate. Pairs well with a
Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rioja, or Chianti.
Ask for these fine cheeses in Vaancouver specialty cheese stores like:
Nesters, Choices Market, Thrifftty Fooods, Meinhardt Foods,
o IGA Marketplace, Fresh Street Market, Windsor Quality
Meats, Les Amis du Fromage, Benton Brothers Fine Cheese

Special thanks to:
Import Vintners & Spirits Association of BC:
The Import Vintners & Spirits Association of
British Columbia is a non-profit association
formed in 1975 by a small group of liquor agents
who felt a united voice should be heard when
communicating with the B.C. Liquor Distribution
Branch. The agent members account for
approximately 85% of all imported beverage
alcohol in British Columbia.
BC Hospitality Foundation:
The BC Hospitality Foundation provides support
for individuals within the hospitality community,
beyond traditional medical benefits and
insurances, who are coping with a financial crisis
arising from a health or medical condition. As
well, it is committed to supporting the industry’s
next generation by providing scholarships to
selected students enrolled in hospitality, culinary
and wine programmes in BC.

VanWineFest grew from humble roots as a fundraising
initiative for the former Vancouver Playhouse Theatre
Company, dreamed up by the late John E. Levine. The
inaugural festival in 1979 featured one vintner – Robert
Mondavi – and saw approximately 1,000 people attend
the two-day event at Hycroft, the Shaughnessy mansion
owned by Vancouver’s University Women’s Club.
By its fourth year, the festival had grown to attract 45
California wineries, becoming known as the California
Wine Festival. The ninth festival in 1987 was the first
multi-national event, with wineries from seven countries
showcasing their wines. In 1988, VanWineFest moved to
the Vancouver Convention Centre, where the main
International Festival Tastings have been held ever
since. The festival is now annually scheduled for the last
week of February.
In 1996, VanWineFest began shining the spotlight on
specific wine regions or countries by featuring a new
area each year, with the French wine region Bordeaux
as the inaugural theme. This year, the theme country is
Australia, featuring two centuries of history, evolution
and revolution in Australian winemaking. Since 2004,
VanWineFest has highlighted an annual global focus,
with Syrah (aka Shiraz) under the spotlight this year.
Today VanWineFest attracts some of the biggest industry
names from around the world and is firmly established
as the continent’s premier wine event and among the
biggest, best and oldest wine events in the world. It
features wine tastings and pairings, gourmet dinners and
luncheons, educational seminars and culinary
competitions.
This is a rare opportunity to meet owners, winemakers
and senior representatives from wineries around the
globe. For either the experienced wine lover or the
novice, the festival has something to please every palate
and pocketbook.
BARD ON THE BEACH
Mission: To perform, explore and celebrate the genius of
William Shakespeare.
Vision: To create an enduring contribution to the cultural
fabric of the community as an inspiring centre of
Shakespeare performance, education and understanding.
Celebrating its 26th Season in 2015, Bard on the Beach is the
Vancouver International Wine Festival’s charitable
beneficiary. One of Canada’s largest not-for-profit,
professional Shakespeare festivals, Bard’s home is a
magnificent waterfront setting in Vancouver’s Vanier Park
where it offers Shakespeare plays, related dramas and
special events in two modern performance tents every
summer. The 2015 season, running from June 4 to
September 26, opens with Shakespeare’s hilarious audience
favourite, The Comedy of Errors, playing on the BMO
Mainstage in repertory with the epic tragedy King Lear, a
co-production with Theatre Calgary and starring Shaw &
Stratford Festival veteran Ben Campbell as Lear. In the
intimate Douglas Campbell tent, the Howard Family Stage
hosts a music-filled Jazz Age setting of Love’s Labour’s Lost;
it alternates with a world premiere of a new play based on
best-selling author C.C. Humphreys’ historical novel
Shakespeare’s Rebel.
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR - CHRISTOPHER GAZE
JUNE 4 - SEPT 26, 2015
On the
On the Howard Family Stage
In addition to its plays, the Festival offers opera, choral and
orchestral concerts, wine tastings and educational events.
The tented Bard Village is home to many activities and
amenities including informal pre-show In A Nutshell talks,
concession and bar services, and a Bard boutique.
Bard engages a team of exceptional actors, directors,
designers and technicians each season, along with yearround administrative staff and teaching artists; it is also
supported by more than 250 volunteers each year. Bard’s
critically-acclaimed plays repeatedly draw full houses;
season attendance reached a record 100,000 in 2014 and
more than 1.4 million patrons have enjoyed the Bard
experience since 1990.

for youth and teens at the site during the summer and Bard
in the Classroom workshops for students and teachers
during the school term. In 2014, it launched the Riotous
Youth program to provide further Shakespearean theatre
education to some of its summer workshop graduates.
Bard on the Beach is extremely proud and honoured to be
the Wine Festival’s charitable recipient. The partnership is
invaluable, helping Bard maintain its signature high artistic
standards and educational programs while at the same time
keeping its programming affordable for hundreds of
thousands of local residents and city visitors.

WELCOME TO
Savour Australia is the collective Australian experience at the Vancouver International
Wine Festival (VIWF) 2015 and is hosted by Wine Australia in partnership with
55 Australian wineries, Tourism Australia, the South Australian Tourism Commission,
Barossa Grape and Wine Association, McLaren Vale Grape Wine and Tourism
Association, Australian Wine Research Institute, the University of Adelaide and
Primary Industries and Regions South Australia (PIRSA).
Throughout VIWF 2015, Australia will offer a dynamic look at the history, evolution
and revolution of its wines. You will sip and savour your way through Australia’s
wine regions, masterclasses, grazing events and an interactive tasting station in the
tasting room themed around cool-climate wines, modern Australian wine and the
Chardonnay evolution.
Winery dinners, wine seminars featuring iconic tasting flights, a late night ‘Savour
Australia Lounge Party’ and a gourmet ‘Restaurant Australia’ lunch are just some of
the events that will take you on an epicurean journey across Australia.
Our ‘History, Evolution and Revolution’ theme will be woven through each event
and will frame the discussion on what Australian wine offers today’s wine drinker.
Australia’s 200 years of winemaking heritage, today’s regional style and variety
evolutions, and the innovative techniques that influence the wine trends of tomorrow,
will make you look at Australian wine in a whole new light.
Enjoy the journey and Savour Australia with us!
Cheers,
Angela Slade
Wine Australia Regional Director – The Americas

SHIRAZ
Think Australian wine and no doubt you think Shiraz. With Shiraz grown in 50 of Australia’s
65 wine regions, it’s hardly surprising that Shiraz is the rock star of Australian wine.
Shiraz was one of the original varieties brought to Australia and it is certainly one of the
most successful. It has long commanded the spotlight since the first Shiraz vines were
planted more than 200 years ago. Some of Australia’s most famous wines are Shiraz and
there are many vineyards scattered throughout the country with vines that are more than
100 years old.
What may surprise you, however, is just how diverse Australia’s Shiraz offering is today and
how the style has evolved as more wine regions started producing local expressions of this
classic grape variety.
With Shiraz the global focus at this year’s festival, Wine Australia has declared it Shiraz
Week. A global call to action, Shiraz Week will encourage wine drinkers–wherever they
are–to ‘taste, tweet and talk’ about Shiraz by joining the conversation.

HOW TO SAVOUR AUSTRALIA
IN THE TASTING ROOM
1. EXPLORE
Visit all 55 winery tables from five states and 16 Australian regions.
2. SAVOUR AUSTRALIA AT OUR REGIONAL TASTING STATION
The Australian section of the International Festival Tasting is a starburst of 55 wineries. At the heart of it all is
the Savour Australia Regional Tasting Station. This four-sided booth is a hub of information and education and it
provides a closer look at some of the wine trends and science that are shaping the Australian wine sector today.
S AV O U R A U S T R A L I A F O C U S T A B L E S
COOL-CLIMATE CLASSICS
Wines from the cooler pockets
of Australia such as the Yarra
Valley, tucked in the hills around
Melbourne, or very cool Tasmania,
renowned for its sparkling wine
production, will introduce you to
another facet of the wine styles
that come from Down Under.
Floor Plan Reference: X
MOD OZ
Here we shine a spotlight on less
common grape varieties emerging
from Australia. Winemakers
have discovered that alternative
varieties such as Vermentino,
Tempranillo, Fiano, Touriga and
Grüner Veltliner are well-suited
to Australian soils and climates.
CHARDONNAY EVOLUTION
In today’s landscape you’ll
still find the rich, buttery,
wonderfully-oaked versions
of Chardonnay but you’ll also
find winemakers crafting a
modern style that is elegant
and citrusy with less oak and a
lighter touch.
T H E E P I C U R E A N WAY, S O U T H A U S T R A L I A
Floor Plan Reference: Y
‘The Epicurean Way’ is a wine and food trail winding its way through the premium
wine regions of South Australia; the Epicurean Way table is a small sampling of the
incredibly diverse styles of Shiraz that can be experienced on this trail. This tour for
your tastebuds will take you to world-famous Barossa, picturesque Adelaide Hills,
beach-side McLaren Vale and charming Clare Valley.
Further information: http://roadtrips.southaustralia.com/

Floor Plan Reference: W
Known for their wine research the world over, the AWRI brings an interactive, sensory and
scientific look at Australian wine to Canadian shores for the first time. Discover your preferred

recognition skills with flavour-spiked wines; learn about wine innovations; and pick the brain of
Chief Sensory Scientist, Leigh Francis.
3. JOURNEY WITH OUR PASSPORT
Visit the Savour Australia Regional Tasting Station (at the heart of
the Australia section) to get your passport and start your journey.
A.
B. Get your passport ‘stamped’ at every station.
C. Redeem it for a prize back where you started!
4. DISCOVER WHAT’S NEW & RARE
by BC Liquor Stores (Floor Plan Reference: V)
Opposite the Australian Regional Tasting Station, BC Liquor Stores
will present its own look at new and rare Australian wines. Through a
special direct-buy program they secured a premium selection of wines
that will be available for a limited time only in BC Liquor Stores and at
the on-site festival store.

5. SHARE YOUR OPINIONS
Wine buyers, join in research by the
University of Adelaide in the tasting
room. The University has a 100year tradition of excellence in wine
education and research, from grape
and wine production to wine marketing
and market development. The mobile
research crew want your opinions in
exchange for a small token of their
appreciation.

Shot In the Dark Wines
The area around Sydney has the longest history of grape growing in Australia and James Busby’s collection of
362 vines, originally planted at the Botanical Gardens in the 1820s, was the most signiﬁcant development in
the early history of Australian wine as cuttings from these vines made their way to other parts of New South
Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
HUNTER VALLEY
The Hunter Valley was the
ﬁrst commercial wine region in
Australia, established in 1828. It
has one of the warmest, wettest
and most humid climates of all
Australia’s wine regions with
rain a constant in the latter
stages of most vintages. The
region produces high-quality
Chardonnay and medium-bodied,
savoury Shiraz but it’s the unique
expression of unoaked, ageworthy Semillon that it’s known
for across the world.

CANBERRA DISTRICT
The district’s cool climate produces elegant white wines and restrained reds while Clonakilla’s
acclaimed Shiraz Viognier has set the Australian standard for this increasingly popular blend.
Shiraz is the region’s specialty—medium-bodied, spicy and savoury with distinct licorice and
black cherry characters.
Crisp, dry, age-worthy Rieslings and medium-bodied

Western Australia is the largest state and spans the western
third of the Australian continent, although the winemaking
regions are almost entirely concentrated in the south-west
and great southern land divisions of the state. The regions
include Blackwood Valley, Geographe, Great Southern, Peel,
Pemberton, Manjimup, Margaret River and Swan District.
MARGARET RIVER
Margaret River is a relatively late arrival on the Australian fine wine scene.
The assessment of the viticultural potential by Dr John Gladstone in the
1960s started the initial expansion of the region into winemaking. Although
Margaret River doesn’t have the history of Coonawarra, its Cabernet
Sauvignon is its equal in reputation.
The maritime climate and gravelly soils are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon
of exceptional quality and the regional style tends to be elegant and
aromatic. Blackcurrant, violets and mint with velvety tannins are signature
characteristics of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon. The region is also
known for its highly regarded Chardonnay, which is typically
rich with ripe, complex flavours but finished with citrus acidity.

VICTORIA

producing state; however, Phylloxera outbreaks put a
temporary halt on production in many areas. The 1970s saw a resurgence and now Victoria is home to more
individual wineries than any other state in Australia. It also has the greatest diversity of regional climates, which
allow for the production of virtually every wine style from sparkling wine to Pinot Noir, Shiraz and the historic
fortified wines of Rutherglen.
GOULBURN VALLEY/NAGAMBIE LAKES
Like many other regions in Victoria, this area was originally
planted in the mid-1800s. Shiraz in the region is mediumto full-bodied in style with black fruit, spice and earth

rich with firm but supple tannins. Chardonnay is the classic
warm climate style with ripe peach and buttery qualities.

TASMANIA
The island state of Tasmania is situated off the southern coast of the Australian mainland in the
cool waters of the Southern Ocean. The first vineyards were planted in 1865, but it was not
until the late 1970s that the region hit its stride. Today, there are seven distinct wine-producing
regions although officially the whole island is considered one wine region.
The influence of the Southern Ocean on this cool climate region results in average growing
season temperatures comparable to Champagne, France. Tasmania’s sparkling wines, made in
the traditional method, are some of the best to be found in Australia and they’ve developed a
world-class reputation for their elegance, balance and intensity of fruit.
Chardonnay also fares particularly well in the cool conditions while Tasmanian Pinot Noir is
fragrant and light-bodied with delicate flavours of red apple and cherry.

STRATHBOGIE RANGES
This sparsely populated, high-altitude region sits east of
Goulburn Valley. Chardonnay and Shiraz are the most
planted varieties but Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling,
Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir are also commonly grown.
Chardonnay is a medium-bodied style with grapefruit and
nectarine flavours. Shiraz is medium- to full-bodied, with
typical flavours of liquorice, blackberry and spice.

The birth of the Adelaide Hills region as we know it today was in 1976. This is a hilly region
located just east of Adelaide in the Mount Lofty Ranges. It has varying climates, most of it
decidedly cool but with a few warm pockets. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay do exceptionally
well here and fruit sourced from the cooler sites often finds its way into sparkling wines.
Adelaide Hills has developed a reputation for being the benchmark region for Australian
Sauvignon Blanc. Chardonnay is complex, medium weight and with good natural acidity.
Pinot Noir from the region is of exceptional quality and the style is typically medium-bodied
with flavours of ripe cherry and strawberry fruit, and soft tannins.

This is one of the most historic wine producing regions in Australia. Originally
established by the British, the noted German inﬂuence came from Lutheran
emigrants from Prussia. There are now sixth generation grape growing
families and Barossa is home to Australia’s largest collection of old vines,
with some dating back to the 1860s. Langmeil’s Freedom vineyard (planted in
1843) is possibly the oldest Shiraz vineyard in the world.
Shiraz occupies 50 per cent of the vineyard plantings and is by any measure
the specialty variety of this region. Typically full-bodied with ripe fruit and
plush tannins, the very best examples of Barossa Shiraz moderate this natural
richness with balanced acidity and focused pure fruit character.
Grenache is often blended with both Shiraz and Mourvèdre to produce a classically complex and textured
red. It is also made as a single varietal wine with rich ripe raspberry and peppery spice character.

McLAREN VALE
The development of viticulture in McLaren Vale was mostly
by the British. John Reynell built Chateau Reynella in 1838,
making it the first winery in South Australia. The climate is
generally Mediterranean and, while Shiraz and Grenache have
been the mainstay red varieties, the region is also known
for experimentation and recently there have been increased
plantings of southern European varieties such as Vermentino
and Sangiovese.
A range of sub-regional Shiraz styles exists; dark chocolate,
blueberry and spice characters are common and wines are
typically medium- to full-bodied with vibrant, pure fruit.
Grenache is commonly used in classic
blends, but the straight Grenache wines
coming out of this region are exciting and
